Abstract: A self-closing cap for the fuel filler neck of a vehicle is provided which is particularly adapted for use with an automatic gas filling machine. The cap comprises a closure ring having an annular body and screw threads or bayonet lugs for detachably mounting the periphery of the annular body around the open end of the filler neck, and a closure flap assembly formed from a circular member with a nozzle receiving opening, a closure flap spring biased over the opening, and a pivotal mounting connecting the flap over the opening. The closure flap assembly includes a locking ratchet mechanism for securing the circular member over the closure ring in a selected angular position such that the pivotal mounting is substantially 180 DEG  opposite from the pivotal connection of the restrictive flap within a filler neck of a vehicle to allow a fuel nozzle from an automatic gas filling machine to be smoothly inserted into and withdrawn from the self-closing cap. The cap has a cover that snap-fits over the closure flap assembly. The top wall of the cover serves as an inclined guide face for guiding the nozzle of an automatic gas filling machine into the opening of the closure flap assembly.

Abstract: This novel mould (1) forms a band of rubber. Its two dies (2, 3) each have surfaces (4, 5) delimiting an internal volume of the closed mould, equivalent to the volume of the rubber. Each has a partition (6, 7) projecting from the moulding surface. This forms a groove in the rubber. The partition has lateral partition walls (61, 63, 71, 73) and end wall sections (62, 72) adjoining them. A novel feature of this mould is the continuity of opposing partitions (6, 7) when the mould is closed. Such partitions form a grooved pattern traversing the band of rubber. When closed together, the walls include orifices which are filled with rubber during moulding.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un implant destiné à être placé dans le corps humain et un ensemble permettant de le placer. Cet implant est plus particulièrement destiné à être utilisé dans le système vasculaire du corps humain, et est utilisé pour obstruer un peu d'espace dans ce système vasculaire devant recevoir un traitement. L'implant est de préférence un composant d'un dispositif de déploiement utilisant un joint sectionnable par voie électrolytique. Le composant de l'implant est au moins partiellement recouvert d'une couche hautement résistante ou isolante. Cette dernière s'avère améliorer la sensibilité du joint électrolytique à une érosion rapide, et permettre ainsi la libération de l'implant. Bien que l'implant soit de préférence un dispositif d'occlusion vasculaire, il peut cependant être un extenseur, un filtre de veine cave, ou autre implant pouvant être placé de cette manière. Par ailleurs, l'implant peut être recouvert individuellement avec un matériau isolant ou résistant, ou peut être formé en utilisant un matériau tel que le tantale, qui forme un isolant ou une résistance in situ.

Abstract: A method for representing time dependent geometric shapes and geometric structures in computer systems is presented. More specifically, the invention presents a method for describing such objects and their movement through a data structure with ordered geometric objects. These objects are described as any combination of points, curves and surfaces that are anchored to each other in a graph structure. Various methods of anchoring can be used, giving the method a high degree of flexibility. Animation is described as time dependency in the description of any part of the representation, including the definition of movement curves along which points move from an initial to a final position during a time interval. If parts of the data structure are repeated in the model, they will normally be described only once. Additional occurrences will be described by using a reference to the first occurrence and a transformation.

Abstract: The device includes identical and/or differing sensors for single or continuous determinations. Each produces a signal related to the magnitude measured. A unit converts and transmits the signal. The sensor is implanted close to but outside the relevant blood vessel; a sample feed line reaches into the vessel. Preferred features: Unit overall size does not exceed 400 mu l, preferably 1500 mu l, especially 500 mu l and most especially 300 mu l. Clotting is initiated in the sensor, its course being followed by suitable tracking parameter(s). Numbers of sensors included, determine the same or different parameters. Each sensor is used only once and/or until it fails. The required electrical energy comes from an implantable battery, especially of the open variety; it alternatively arrives through an external transducer. The parameters to be determined react with sensitizer beads, which liberate singlet oxygen proportionately. This is measured by electrodes, converted and transmitted as a signal. The sensor beads are LOCI beads.

Abstract: There is disclosed a medical correction device for correcting the attitude of an appendage of the user which is prone to adopting an undesirable attitude, as is the case for example in conditions such as clawed fingers or dropped foot. The device comprises a base portion with means for securing the device to a user to which a resilient member such as a coiled spring, and a rotatable projection member are attached. The resilient member is also attached to the rotatable projection member and subtends an angle therewith. The device is mounted on a hand, wrist or proximate the ankle of the user such that relative rotation between the projection member and the base portion gives rise to a restoring force exerted by the resilient member, a component of which acts on the appendage. The interaction between the appendage of the user, projection member and the base portion is such that increased rotation of the projection member away from the base portion reduces the angle subtended between the projection member and the resilient member and accordingly the component of the restoring force transmitted by said projection member back to the base portion is increased and the component of the restoring force which acts on the appendage is reduced and substantially eliminated when the projection member and the resilient member are in alignment. The correcting effects of the device is therefore reduced and can be eliminated when the appendage is significantly angled with respect to the portion of the user to which said appendage is attached.
